daily apt upgrade services

That is to update the software on you system. You will receive any security patches if there are any available. Without those patches your system will be vulnerable. You can update Whonix using the terminal.

Sometimes a message appears (after the start of whonix gateway)
Remarkable kernel message found using dmesg.
timekeeping watchdog on CPU1 making clocksource ‘tsc’ as unstable because the scew is too large

Not sure. Look for the error using your search engine.

Will solve the issue:

1. go to “system settings -> startup and shutdown -> desktop session.”
2. in the “on login” section, change it from “restore previous session” to “start with an empty session.”

When I use onion circuits I see that all tor chains contain the same first server, and it very rarely changes.

You don’t want to change the first Tor relay. That is your entry guard.

Sometimes when whonix gateway is started, (with a workstation connected or even without any workstations loaded), some connections appear in onion circuits.

Not sure. I would have to see a log or the “weird string”. Try using your search engine to see if the sting returns anything. That could get you pointed in the right direction.
